Deputies arrested and charged two suspects Saturday with possession with intent to sell 6 pounds of marijuana with a street value worth about $28,000, according to Major Frank Stout with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies stopped a 2002 Honda Accord for a traffic violation on U.S. 25 near N.C. 225 Saturday and noticed that the suspects were acting suspiciously, Stout said in a news release.

A drug dog was called in and sniffed the car, and deputies found the pot in a box that the suspects claimed carried picture frames.

Cam Luu Doung, 26, and Hoi Vong Ly, 32, both of Georgia, were charged with felony possession of marijuana, felony possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana and felony maintaining a vehicle.

They are being held at the Henderson County Detention Facility in lieu of $24,000 secured bond each.
